Cuisine: Asian
Price Point: Mains from $20 - $30
Cool, colourful and with charismatic staff, Monsoon Poon is the sort of restaurant that makes any evening feel like a party. Decorated with an eclectic jumble of artefacts from across Asia, this is a feel-good destination for dinner and cocktails.
The food draws inspiration from across the Asian continent, with India, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines all well represented. Think banquet menus the whole crew will love, spicy options that will set your palate on fire, curries, noodles and plenty of veggie plates.
Grab a table and let the feast begin. Crowd pleasers include prawn wontons, beef rendang and fish tacos, while wok fried tofu and eggplant is served in a sichuan style clay pot, giving it an authentic twist. Feeling brave? Their signature firecracker chicken sliders with dynamite mayo are legendary… for those who dare!
A cold Southeast Asian beer or refreshing wine is the perfect contrast to all that chilli, while the cheeky cocktail menu includes serves such as the Suzy Wong, Singapore Sling and Poon Tang. Personally, we love the coconut margarita.
Grab a table before they’re gone.

Was an overall great experience and would recommend to anyone looking to try a top asian fusion restaurant. We got the Nasi Goreng, Beef Rendang and combo platter. The proportions were huge and didnt leave us unsatisfied.

We had a great meal, of 4 tapas dishes. Monsoon Poon is an old favourite, but this exceeded our expectations. Generous servings, and an impressive selection of quality wines. All of it topped off by the friendly, attentive service of our table waitress Reece. Thank you, Monsoon Poon.

Gobsmacked by the loud, quaint, cultural and dramatic setting of Monsoon Poon!
Ordered two entrees, the fried chicken wings with a tangy sauce containing tamarind was appetising but the imperial lettuce cup is a 10/10! We waited a bit before the three mains arrived. The soft shell crab curry came with a semi thick gravy which had divided reviews from our family, I think u can say we are food snobs! My daughter and I loved it but my hubby and other daughter say while it is nice, it was not mind blowing! The beef rendang was tender and had lovely flavour and we enjoyed the Thai beef salad, which had lots of tender sliced beef! The cocktails were well thought out with a south East Asian twist! Our evening - I’ll rate 7.5/10, mind u, we r tough critiques cos we are Asians tasting asian cuisine! Haha!

Food was good except the curry laksa was not authentic at all. Could be better, but the service was good though, and the sago pudding dessert was amazing!
Thank you!
